It works fine on win 2000 but we have not been able to get the sound going on the other. I have tried the SIS 7012 audio from the sis website-no success! Any idea?

354511	2005-05-13 03:05:00	Hello 4bes Thanks I had a try with those drivers some time ago and did not manage to install. Is there anything special to lookout for while installing a sound driver? Countles times I have tried and I am quite frustrated by now. Any other hints? Gion	notechyet (4479)
